British Hacker Creates Firewall To Block Everything On The Internet But Porn

Following David Cameron's announcement of an porn filter for the UK, it has been met with a significant backlash. UK-based Sicksad has heard these calls from Government by building 'The Great Firewall of Porn,' which does exactly the opposite and blocks all non-pornographic content on the internet.

"So I hear the UK government wants to make a porn filter." Sicksad writes in a post. "About bloody time i reckon. I’m fed up of happily browsing the Internet for boobs, only to have non-porn related subject matter thrust down my face hole."

Okay, so maybe this isn't exactly the filter that David Cameron was talking about; but it does drive home the point of how ludicrous it is to have to ask Government for permission to view online content.

The filter itself is a really clever use of the porn-identifying OpenDNS FamilyShield, flipping the instructions to only allow porn through. If it would normally be allowed, the site is blocked, bringing up a page that requests users to fill out a request form for Government to release the block.

Porn is literally everywhere on the internet. Look no further than targeted explicit advertisements that seem to adorn what seems to be every other page, the healthy amount of X-rated content on popular video-sharing sites like Dailymotion and Metacafe, the streams of birthday suit-clad models filtering through nearly every online forum known to man. And that's not even taking into account the porn websites themselves. But how much porn does the internet actually hold? It was a question technology website ExtremeTech simply had to find out, and one that we can do nothing but share. The reality will blow you away.

Will We Soon Need To “Opt-In” At Broadband Sign-Up To View Online Pornography?

Under-18s may soon have to pluck up the courage to ask their parents to remove that block on internet pornography if ministers of the UK government get their way in approving a change in the law that would give parents even more control over the type of content their broadband provider provides.
